20. Yüzyılda Hafızların Elazığ-Harput Müziğine Katkıları
The Contributions of Hafizs to Elazıg-Harput Music in the 20th Century

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to examine the contributions of hafizs accessible in the 20th century to Elazığ-Harput music. This study is significant as it will reveal who the hafizs contributing to Elazığ-Harput music are. The study is limited to hafizs who contributed to Elazığ-Harput music. Qualitative research methods were adopted in this study, and document analysis was used for data collection. In this context, the hafizs who performed music in the region were researched and their contributions to the regional music were examined. The hafizs, trained within the framework of the traditional master-apprentice relationship, played an important role in the transmission of Elazığ-Harput music culture. Furthermore, hafizs who contributed to the region’s music, with their dual identities as hafizs and musicians, laid the groundwork for the formation of a distinct style in Elazığ-Harput music that could be defined as the “hafiz style”. In addition, Hafiz Osman Öge stood out in the Harput region with his voice, artistry and performance of the region’s music. Individuals known for their beautiful voices in the region were evaluated in two separate categories: Hafizs, imams, muezzins and other individuals with beautiful voices. It is thought that this study emphasises the role of hafizs in the transmission of traditional music and will serve as an example for similar research to be conducted in the future.
